- Such a device for marking containers for
- Tissue samples for example, the system "Thermo Scientific Shandon
- Priority Notice published by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is referenced.
- Prior art systems had several disadvantages.
- One disadvantage, for example, was that they were designed only for the processing of batches, that is, for the processing of a large number of containers.
- Another disadvantage was the use of very expensive printing equipment.
- the print head can be slidably or pivotally mounted.
- a disadvantage of the device of DE 102 35 611 A1 was that a label of plastic carriers, in particular with
- the US 6,951, 633 B1 also shows an apparatus for labeling
- Inkjet printhead which system provides a manual feed such that a cartridge is manually inserted into the system, for which the entire automatic operation must be interrupted for more than 1 minute.
- DE 8200185 U1 shows a printer with printing unit which printing documents from a stack can be fed automatically or manually by means of powered tractors.
- DE 82 00 185 U 1 thus does not relate to the supply of containers or three-dimensional bodies, but to the supply of thin paper.

- Containers can be manually fed to the printing device and individually printed individually.
- the movement into the first and the second position takes place in that the printing device, in particular the entire printing device with print head and ink ribbon, is designed pivotable about an axis.
- the printing device may for example be aligned so that the container to be labeled in a plane, for example, a plate plane, is supplied. If the side of the containers to be inscribed has a chamfer, then the printing device with the print head is folded or pivoted relative to the plane of the plate by the life angle at which the chamfer is located, since the inscription surface and the printing surface of the printhead are essentially in the same plane come lie.
- the print head of the printing device is arranged so that a manual feed of the container from above is possible. In one embodiment, the second position is selected such that the
- Printing device in a plane that is parallel to the plate plane comes to rest.

- the automatic operation is only slightly impaired in its course. The automatic mode is briefly stopped while the printhead or the
- Printing device is moved to the position for manual operation and makes the label.
- Printhead are of course other ways to move into different positions conceivable, for example, a vertical process of the print head.
- the pivoting about an axis is characterized by a simple construction.
- a detection device for detecting the respective position of the print head, for example the first position of the print head
- the detection device can be designed such that, as soon as the print head is pivoted out of the position in which an automatic feed takes place, it is put out of operation. The supply is then only possible manually.
- a detection device is, for example, a magnetic switch, which is closed in the case of the printing device or the print head is in the position for automatic operation. If the printing device is moved from the position for automatic operation to another position, the switch is opened and the automatic mode is interrupted. It is particularly preferred if the printing device a
